The place of Italian music in the world heritage is quite exceptional as Italian composers left their strong mark on the main tendencies in music all over the world for centuries. If we wanted to enumerate its distinctive features, they would include the high appreciation of human voice, the development of keyboard and violin techniques, emphasis on the lyrical, virtuosity and expressive emotiveness. Many of these properties can be found in works by Gioacchino Rossini. The NFM Ensemble will present three Sonatas a quattro written when Rossini was still a teenager. These hugely popular quartets with double bass earned Rossini a reputation in chamber music equalling his fame as operatic composer In between the Rossini quartets, Domenico Dragonetti’s Duetto in B flat major and Johann Halvorsen’s Cappriccio Concertante on the themes of Norwegian melodies for two violins will serve as intermezzi. Folk inspirations, pastoral moods and sounds of nature translated into music make Halvorsen’s piece look similar to tunes written for Hardanger fiddle i.e. Norwegian fiddle with 8 or 9 strings. Music by Halvorsen is a rarity in concert programmes. Virtuosic and original, it is a challenge to perform. We are sure Bartosz Bober and Wojciech Hazuka will play with panache and skill.
